Hallelujah cover collection

Post by Maarten »

Hello,
Just came across this nice collection of covers. Nice to be able to hear them all together (well, not all together at once, just one at the time!), that way you can really compare all the differences...

Thanks Maarten
I have many of them but I didn't know about the Clare Bowditch version, loved it, was it a trumpet and a double bass?
After Leonard's, I prefer the simpler versions that do something different.

This cover belongs in any respectable Hallelujah cover collection. I just came across it on the ng, posted by Geoffrey/Snow. The photos here are alone worth the visit... but, this voice, this expression... and as she's also holding a guitar, is this also her self-accompaniment :shock: !?! Probably not for this particular recording. I don't know the language on the site, so I couldn't figure out how to Comment ~ or how to Save it anywhere :( . I would love to do both! I could only rate it ~ 5-Star, of course.

Enjoy the Hallelujah world of an 11-year-old girl 8) :shock: 8) :

Love her rendering at 2:55 on " . . . what's really going on below . . . " ~ love the ending ~ love the overall arrangement. Love it.

Thanks for posting this, Chris. You can sure hear Annie's life experience in her voice and rendering 8) . I love this one, too. Impressively intense and real.
